A True English Eccentric

120 cats..."I'd never leave my cats". Hopefully it can be viewed.
I often think of the 70s as the peak of 20th c English eccentricity. Lots of pleasantly batty folks doing their thing.

I like cats, but I much prefer dogs and would have loved to have more dogs in my lifetime. I always said that when I retired I would get an old dog, a puppy and a cat, but of course the best laid plans and all that ! It saddens me greatly that because of my age Jill will be my last dog. so I have to make the most of the precious time we have together. I wonder if this woman worries what will happen to her cats if something happens to her ? I can't open the link

I love animals, but I’m a coward. I hate the heartache of their deaths or illnesses. Plus the now extortionate vet bills, exacerbated by insurance scams.

Shirley...the link was a video dating from 1976. The woman, Jean Room, had gradually taken in a total of 120 cats. Lots of polite questions from the BBC interviewer regarding food costs, did she have a favourite, smell...and who would she choose...the cats, or her husband. Her food costs were £100 a month...astronomical then.

I loved th attached footage of Phil Mickleson driving 450 yards.....it certainly wasn't a 'dogleg' but I bet it had him purring....
